Many of Oprah's guests find their way on to the program by writing in letters . We need to do the same. I have written the following letter to Oprah. Please fill in the blanks and submit it here. If enough of us send in emails, maybe Oprah will run a show with amazing tales of blogging.

Dear Oprah,

First, thank you for your program. Every day it provides rich inspiration to millions of Americans (and free cars to a select lucky few!). As a major media personality, you might be aware of a growing phenomenon called "blogging" - short for web logging. To my knowledge you haven't had any bloggers on your program but now might be a great time to do so.

Blogging has empowered more than 8 million citizens worldwide to do great things. Some are citizen journalists. They report news and even occasionally fact-check the media as well. Dan Rather experienced this first hand, as I am sure you have heard. Other bloggers are using the personal publishing medium to express their pain and find spiritual guidance as they battle terrible diseases - such as cancer. Meanwhile thousands of employees inside corporate America are blogging and there are even celebrity bloggers as well.

I am one of these eight million bloggers. I blog on [insert your subject matter] at [URL]. If you would like my assistance in finding great bloggers for your program, please contact me at [email address].
